of "FreeBSD".

e6fb3dde93 Add new option to fdisk: -e
This wipes the MBR and creates slice 1 as a FreeBSD slice covering the
disk starting from the second track to the cylinder aligned end of the disk.

This is the most compatibly layout we have as far as I know.

26721a89ff Drop the embedded boot code in favour of a -B option which reads
the boot code from /boot/mbr, or elsewhere as defined by the revised
"-b bootcode" option; use getopt(3); clarify usage(); partially
revise man page; etc.

12d910e9bb Add a -b option as a simple way to rewrite the mbr code
(eg. replacing a boot manager with a standard mbr)

4ddd60b905 Number partitions 1-4, not 0-3.
Any existing config files (using the -f option) will need
to be changed although using the old files will usually result
in an error (partition 0 is invalid).

f46af50517 Allow fdisk to be driven from a configuration file, making a 3rd-party
utility for front-ending its operation more of a possibility.

e3038c6ef5 Update to the slices era. Make /dev/rfoo0 the defaults, not
/dev/rfoo0d.

Scan a list of devices instead of insisting on all the world
being wd0.

Allow for disk names to be specified (e.g. `sd0') instead of full
path names only.

Sync the man page with the reality.

0ef0620351 The fdisk man page doesn't show correctly the usage possibilities of
fdisk.  It was missing the disk argument.
